    Your Online Teaching Business on WiZiQ

    Dave has an informative presentation in the content section on WiZiQ, which I thought can be very helpful for everyone who would like to start their online teaching business, or if they have started already but need some more tips to get it better.

    He has provided some starting tips but of course you can always use other channels and ideas. This is not a state-of-the-art user guide, but has some useful tips which should not be overlooked. After the introduction it talks about the importance of your profile on WiZiQ. This is like your CV, and as the students choose teachers after seeing their profile, it must be professional and unique.

    Then it has some tips about online and offline marketing - how and where you can market your sessions to have more attendees. Your blog is a great place for posting about your coming session, and also other opportunities are mentioned like forums and classifieds. But of course in promoting yourself you have to be creative! Lastly, this presentation also suggests that before you start to make sessions for a bigger audience, you should practice on WiZiQ's free Virtual Classroom because practice makes perfect!

    We also recommend that if you are a subject expert, you should hold your own public session on WiZiQ. If you would like to hold public sessions, you just have to fill in a form, and after review, it will appear on the public session page. We will help you in promoting your session, connecting you directly with potential learners. You can apply here.

    Make Money Teaching English from Home on WiZiQ

    Although WiZiQ can be used for teaching and learning all subjects, this post is for teachers of English to earn money from home by teaching through WiZiQ without any investment.

    English – The global language

    English is the most spoken, published and known language in the world and spoken in over 115 countries. Nearly all global business, political, social and technological issues and discussions are done in English. Also, the internet and computer languages are dominated by English. It is clear why English is an important language that is learnt by millions of people as this industry grows each year.

    Travelling to teach English around the globe

    ESL (English as a Second Language) is a massive global trend in all countries where English is not the primary language such as China, Korea and India. There are many companies that specialize in training and sending ESL, TESL and other English certified teachers around the world, but what happens when traveling is not always a possibility?

    Teaching English from home to a global audience

    WiZiQ enables teachers from around the world to teach English from home, live, over the Internet in a Virtual Classroom. They can teach on their own schedule and earn what they want. Teachers who are TESL, TESOL, ESL, EFL or EAP (English for Academic Purposes) certified can use WiZiQ to teach English and make use of their certification without having to go abroad.

    What are the benefits of teaching English on WiZiQ?

    Here are some clear benefits:

    • Avoid travel problems:

    - expensive plane tickets

    - medical shots
    - culture shock
    - unfavourable currency exchange

    WiZiQ gives freedom back to teachers to educate efficiently, easily, world wide and for no cost. Join WiZiQ and begin your online teaching career now.
